Momina kula, Medieval fortress in Kremen, Bulgaria.
The stone fortress stands on elevated ground near the Mesta River, featuring defensive walls and towers that demonstrate traditional Bulgarian military architecture.
During medieval times, the fortress served as a strategic defensive point, protecting the region from invasions and controlling important trade routes through Bulgaria.
The name Momina Kula translates to Maiden Tower in Bulgarian, connecting to regional tales of a young woman who refused marriage to a foreign ruler.
Visitors can reach the fortress through marked hiking trails from Kremen village, with guided tours offering detailed information about the structure's military past.
The fortress walls incorporate natural rock formations into their design, creating an integrated defensive system that adapts to the local terrain.
